Ptolus: 165 Vock Row - "Rat-catchers"

"This may just be Kunstler's family crypt, but we may as well check it out. Better to do it now than have to come back."

 

[Aeshen]

Aeshen examines the entryway for any sign of trap or device before slowly proceeding down the hall "Stay back a few steps - if I miss something here it could be very bad for anyone too close to me", he tells the group. He is alert to any sign of passage, device, or trap on the floor, walls, or ceiling.

Mata glances at Valana to make sure she still has her chalk, and gets ready to fall in behind Mairan.

The five foot wide corridor goes only about 10 feet before turning left, where it continues on into darkness.

Ella recovers and raises her torch, and both she and Aeshen can clearly see lots of tracks in the tunnel. They're similar to those of rats -- a sight in Ptolus common enough for everyone to recognize them at a glance -- but rats the size of halflings. At least one set of tracks is as big as a human's footprint.

Mata looks down at the tracks with everyone else and then says "I guess that settles the 'should we go this way' question."

[sblock=ooc]Are there any marks on the walls, or just tracks on the floor as if it was only used as a passageway?[/sblock]

"So... do you think it's a rat-man, or a man-rat? Whatever it is, we must be hot on its tail."

[sblock=The walls]The walls are nondescript and do not seem to have any tracks on them or other unusual markings.[/sblock]

[sblock=ooc]Ringo, do I remember anything relevant the Runewarden's said about the shrine? All you told me way back when was that it was here.[/sblock]

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

[sblock=ooc]That's about it, other than Blurrah is the goddess of Comfort in Sorrow, and is mostly concerned with comforting those who have lost loved ones to death and similar tragedies. The Runewardens were looking for something more exciting.[/sblock]

"I agree, this looks promising. Let's keep moving."
